Homebuilt ROVs Forum

This article is particularly interesting for those interested in exploring our oceans. However pressures of >7000psi at 3 miles depths make ROVs such as those we describe on Homebuiltrovs.com rather expensive! cf: http://www.calctool.org/CALC/other/games/depth_press Here is the article: https://www....

Thanks for the update.

I visit the site most days and I really appreciate seeing the creative developments of home built ROVs.

Thank you for all the spare time work you do in maintaining the site.

Best wishes

Excellent footage! As you highlighted it must have been very difficult to control the ROV with the currents, but the footage says you mastered it.

What are the lasers measuring?

Hi asesorplaza1 Does the original code work in your setup with the transmit and receive arduinos ? The struct RECEIVE_DATA_STRUCTURE{ and struct SEND_DATA_STRUCTURE{ I believe determine the data structure to be sent to the serial interface between the 2 arduinos, presumably you want to send the humi...

Hi, I noticed that these 4 libraries are used: #include <PS2X_lib.h> // Bill Porter's PS2 Library #include <EasyTransfer.h> // Bill Porter's Easy Transfer Library #include <LiquidCrystal.h> #include <Ultrasonic.h> #include <DHT.h> I don't have these - have you looked to see that these libraries are ...

Hi asesorplaza1

What processor board are you using?

Hi asesorplaza1, Please post the code that you are trying to use - the code on the site isn't sufficient to know what you have done that is causing the problems you are having. With the code include any errors you got when you tried to include your own. Also - did the original code compile and work ...

Thanks for that information - it looks like an great way to get good results. I'm going to give it a go.

If your code works fine as a single unit and fails when you connect the cable up with RS422, I would suggest looking more closely at the cable arrangement. RS 422 and 485 are good for 4000ft at 100Kbps - so it looks like you are within specification regarding distance and speed. Some things to try: ...

Thank you for making your research available to all. It is refreshing that you have chosen to do so.
